FAQs about character design projects

How branding projects work

How much does a complete branding project cost?

See my starting prices for my packages by clicking below. Each project requires something different, so prices for your exact project will vary.

Packages

How do you accept payments?

Payments are divided into 2: a non-refundable 50% deposit and the other 50% after the completion of your project. If ordering a template from my shop, payment is processed immediately. Payments can be made with credit/debit card or with Paypal.

How long does it take to finish a branding project?

Depending on what your project is, it can take 2 weeks for a small project, to about 4 weeks for a full branding project. The timeline on your project may be extended depending on what pieces you’re having made for your brand (electronic press kit, business cards, social media banner designs, etc.)

How will we stay in contact?

We’ll start off our meetings over email or Zoom, whichever is easiest for you. I get it, you’re a busy, music making main character. Sometimes it’s easier to communicate through email, sometimes it’s easier to use Zoom.

If my branding project included a website, do you still maintain ownership of the site?

No. After I have built a website for you, I will always transfer ownership to you. You can choose to leave me on it as a manager, if you would like to have me manage your site through my long-term packages. Otherwise, I will remove myself from the site and will not be able to make any updates to it. Click below to view my long-term packages.

Choosing the designer for your character

The right time to be picky

How can I be sure your designs will match what I have in mind?

I’ve worked with clients for 5 years. I know the design struggles that musicians struggle with. You have a specific image in mind, and luckily for you, I know how to ask the right questions. Every design choice I make will be based on your brand personality test, your audience, alternatives, career goals, and more.

Your project will include several revisions during the design process, within reason. You’re free to stop your project at any time. If any work wasn’t covered by the non-refundable deposit, you’ll receive an invoice for work done up to the cancellation date.

How can I be sure that you’re a good match for my character?

Hiring a brand designer is like finding a music producer. It’s an investment, and every detail needs to be right. Take a look through my portfolio.

The perfect designer should have work that matches your aesthetics. The best way to determine if a designer fits your style preferences is to imagine your logo in their art style. If it looks or feels weird, then they’re not the right fit for your project. It goes without saying, you should be very picky about picking your designer.

Portfolio

How are you different from other brand designers?

I’m different from other brand designers because I:

a) work only with musicians,

b) have spent many years researching the music industry, and am familiar with how the game is played.

I know what the biggest struggles and frustrations are for musicians. My mission is to help musicians overcome the social media monsters known as algorithms and take back control of their careers.

I am also different from agencies or studios because they focus on one thing: promotion. As a brand designer, I focus on making your character solid. After your character is solid, you’ll then want to look into a marketing agency to help you show off your new character to the world.

Can you write the copy (text) for my website and other supporting pieces for my brand?

I love writing, I really do. But copywriting (writing text for websites, documents, etc.) is not something I offer at this time. There are copywriting specialists that can do this much better than me.

We already have an established character design. Can we hire you for a small project like a quick fix or update on our electronic press kit, business card, etc?
